PITCA time stamps

All events are recorded in the RECON with a time stamp. The time stamp is used for command processing, database utility processing, and recovery processing that references the RECON.

The standard punctuated time stamp format is described in detail in IMS System Administration. The punctuated forms are supported but exclude labeled offset values.

The following examples show the formats that you can use.

YYYY.DDD HH:MM:SS.T
```
2021.260 08:24:45.7
```
YY.DDD HH:MM:SS.T
```
21.260 08:24:45.7
```

You can identify the log record time stamp to the microsecond for the IMS Record Format and Print Module (DFSERA30) or for any utility that enables log record analysis.

Important:

Do not enclose the timestamp in quotes or any other special notation.
PITCA filtering is based on the converted UTC time stamp and not the local time stamp.
